2025 Toyota Camry - Premium High-Tech Midsize Sedan!

Thanks: West Kendall Toyota 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid Starting at $ Highs: More powerful hybrid setup, impressive fuel efficiency, pleasant interior upgrades. Lows: Numb steering, no more V-6 engine option, some driver-assist features are costly options. Verdict: The Camry’s new hybrid-only lineup is improved across the board, with welcome upgrades to its interior and powertrain. Overview It might not be the most exciting choice, but the Toyota Camry Hybrid is popular for its affordability, spaciousness, and efficiency. For 2025, the family sedan gets a fresh look and bolsters its thrifty credibility by switching its once-broad powertrain lineup—which just last year included a V-6 as well as both hybrid and nonhybrid four-cylinders—to include only two hybrid options. Available in either front- or all-wheel-drive configurations, the new hybrid-only Camry produces as much as 232 horsepower. Toyota hasn’t announced one yet, but we could see a more powerful plug-in-hybrid Camry Prime this time around, too. The interior has been revamped with more modern infotainment tech and styling inspired by the larger Crown sedan, but the Camry Hybrid remains a mid-size car intent on challenging competitors such as the Honda Accord and the Hyundai Sonata. What’s New for 2025? The Camry enters its ninth generation with the 2025 model year, complete with a styling overhaul, a redesigned cabin, and a revised set of exclusively hybrid powertrains. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Toyota Camry starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options. LE: $29,535 SE: $31,835 XLE: $34,535 XSE: $35,735 The Camry’s starting price is a bit higher than before because of the new hybrid-only lineup, but the base LE is cheaper than the previous-generation hybrid. Of the four models that Toyota will offer at launch, the LE has the highest fuel-economy estimates due to its smaller wheels, but we’d opt for the slightly sportier SE. It has a firmer suspension setup and more standard features, and it offers many of the most desirable add-ons—such as the larger infotainment screen and the more powerful all-wheel-drive powertrain—as optional extras. Engine, Transmission, and Performance A duo of hybrid powertrains is available on the 2025 Camry Hybrid, one powering the front wheels and one driving all four. Front-wheel-drive models get a four-cylinder and two electric motors that combine for 225 horsepower while all-wheel-drive ones add a third motor that drives the rear axle and increases combined output to 232 ponies. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard with both setups. These powertrains are similar to what’s found in the Toyota Prius, just with a gas engine in place of the Prius’ four. In our initial test drive, we found the hybrid setup to be responsive around town thanks to the strong shove from the electric motors. But no version of the 2025 Camry will be nearly as quick as the old V-6 model, which we will miss. The SE and XSE versions have sportier suspension tuning, and we noticed tighter body control in the corners in our XSE test car, but we’re not fans of the steering, which lacks feel.
